Sucess Story “Pushing Boundaries”

SUHNER supports Swiss space innovation with ARIS

Project: NICOLLIER | Rocket length: 4.05 m
Partner: ARIS – Academic Space Initiative Switzerland
SUHNER contribution: 3D-printed components for a new mechanical separation system

At SUHNER, we are proud to stand behind the next generation of engineers and pioneers. Supporting innovation is part of our DNA—and when it reaches for space, we’re all in.

That’s why we’re excited to be part of Project NICOLLIER, developed by ARIS, a student-led Swiss organization that unites 50 students from 11 nations. ARIS has quickly become the leading academic platform for space innovation in Switzerland, bridging education and industry.

The rocket, with a length of 4.05 meters, features four individual mission goals. SUHNER’s role focuses on the mechanical paragon: a newly engineered separation mechanism that works without pressurized gas or pyrotechnics—a safer and more sustainable approach.

To make this innovation possible, SUHNER has supplied precision 3D-printed components, tailored for extreme conditions and high reliability.

We’re honored to help shape the future of aerospace—right here in Switzerland.
